Hi! Great question. I just found this from an article in the Greenville Journal:
"He fell in love with Greenville and built a summer home near Saluda Gap on the old State Road. He later built a second home at the current site of the SCDOT office on White Horse Road. He used his own funds to provide a granite, spring-fed fountain for drovers and other travelers on the interstate wagon road. That fountain is now located near the Westin Poinsett Hotel with water running through it, some of which comes from the Poinsett Reservoir."
Where was Poinsetts Greenville home that is pictured in this article?
